Thanks Louis, you brought up a good point. I could have found it! And you are also right, I do remember when I wrote it, the first thought was that piece of paper floating in the air. While many poems here are written from personal experience, I usually consider myself more of an outsider looking in.

For me you were picking up litter - public spirited soul that u are - and discovered the masterpiece here included. A lovely tragic combination of a rubbished love affair now a piece of windblown trash. Take away the first two and last two lines of your piece and its impact goes, but they're there and its VERY powerful.
